Cold Temperature Vacuum Switch (CTVS)

The CTVS is used on Automatic Transmission equipped models. It is a normally closed vacuum switch, connected to a Ported Vacuum Switch (PVS). As coolant temperature rises above 125°F, the coolant PVS switches, allowing vacuum to the CTVS and signalling the MCU into the "closed loop" mode.
